<div>I was wondering how open educational resources (OER) find their way into the minds of learners. I have some capacity to be able to help, but I would like to learn more.</div><div><br></div><div>As background, I've recently begun contracting full time to the Open Knowledge Foundation[0]. One of the projects that the organisation runs is Open Text Book[1]. </div>
<div><br></div><div>The project is mostly dormant. I would like to awaken it. However, there are many ebook repositories in existence. I would like advice on the best way to help. </div><div><br></div><div>Some questions:</div>
<div><br></div><div> - Do educators use digital content from non-traditional sources?</div><div> - What is missing for learners and teachers?</div><div> - Are things easy enough for people creating learning material to get it into the hands of others?</div>
